Even when we get our acts together and things start to work for us, we run the risk of sabotaging the present with our ifs. We can end up isolating defeat out of the attainment of victory. This will happen if our mindset is that we are not enough, we can scan our experiences and successes until we find how we fall short. If we expect disappointment and regret, we can end up pushing situations and manipulating our view until we experience disappointment and regret. Then we find ourselves validating something we wish to avoid, as if the pain of dissatisfaction allows us to feel real. But what if there are no answers to the problems in our lives because there are no problems? What if the problems are invented, only projections? The openness derived from not knowing makes further steps toward freedom possible. When we can go beyond the pressure to know and open ourselved to what is here now, our openness itself engages the present. This sence of presence, being here, brings about satisfaction and delight. Suddenly our joy knows no bounds and the entire world comes alive, like when love is first fulfilled. Luminous energy shines from our heart, lighting up the universe. Every color is vivid, every line distinct. Every sound is musical. The moment is eternal. The experience is beyond our concepts, beyond our imagination. Our very presence contributes to making the world what it is, simply by us being who we are.
